Recommended Posts

I want to build a sort of website that gamers can show off  their achivements in, but I don't want to start unless the community loves the idea ! So if you like it, fell free to express it in the comments !

 

EDIT : Hmm, your comments made me throw this away, But you are right. This forum is enough.

           And btw, I made it to minmus today for the first time  :wink:!

You don't have to, this website does exactly what you propose. :mellow:

I agree with @Triop here. The forum (especially this forum with this community) is a place where people appreaciate your achievements and ideas.

But it depends on how nice the community is. Kerbal Space Program is not a game for everyone, meaning that most of us have the same interest, yet games like CoD and Minecraft are for everyone, this means different people, different interests, and more flamewars.

"build it and they will come"

That's the thing.  It will either work or it won't.  Everybody laughed at Apple's idea for the Ipod, and it revolutionized music storage and playback (even though I think it was inevitable, they just did it "first").  So while I think you are wasting your time, building a social media site based around gaming might just take off.  Give it a go, the worst that happens is you learn better web page design and you're out a few bucks.  The blip on the resume might help someday. 

 

But of course, coming to a gaming site and saying you want to build a better site with your first post might not be the best move....

congratulations on conquering Minmus! did jeb get a taste of the minty soil?

Got a Taste ? I actually EVA'd him while landing at 100m/s ,so he crashed onto the minty soil :D.

And don't worry, he survived.

Now can you get him into orbit with nothing but his EVA pack? :D

At one time it was possible on Minmus, but I think through the years it got changed.

I actually had my first glance at ksp when I installed 0.2 or 0.3, and the first thing that I thought was:"It's a simulation program for nasa scientists"

And I uninstalled it right away:/

Just jumping to Minmus orbit is trivial.  Since it was a bail out during landing, the EVA pack should be nearly full and even the most basic EVA (& rendezvous planning) skills should be sufficient.

In 1.0.5 it takes about 90% of a pack to deorbit and land on the flats, then boost back up to rendezvous with a base/ship in orbit.  (plus, Lithobraking with your face can save an extra 20-30m/s if gracefulness is not required)

The main way to conserve enough fuel for the achievement is to recline your Kerbal so that you have a single thrust vector along prograde and you aren't suffering cosine losses by pressing Shift and W at the same time.

Actually, it's still possible-- kerbals on Minmus surface can easily get into orbit.  In fact, they can actually escape from Minmus and go all the way home to Kerbin without a ship!  (And then burn up on reentry.  It used to be possible to go all the way from Minmus surface to Kerbin surface, purely in EVA, but KSP changed its reentry heating model in-- I think-- 1.1 or thereabouts, and I don't think this is doable anymore without some form of thermal protection.)

In fact... a kerbal on the Mun can actually make it to orbit (albeit just barely, and only to toe-scrapingly low orbit).  Tried it just now in 1.3, and managed to make it to a circular orbit at about 5km altitude.  I'd post a photo here, except that imgur appears to be having indigestion at the moment.

Kerbal EVA packs are freakishly overpowered.  :)

Yup.  I think you can actually get all the way home from Gilly, and into a nice parking orbit around either moon to await pickup.  Though, actually, Minmus may be too light to get a capture unless you get a lucky assist from the Mun...I kinda forget.
